The HD 569 is the most comfortable pair of headphones I’ve ever used. The main negative is that the coating on the ear cups and headband foam start to flake off as they wear. Expect to have black bits on your head and ears for a period. The good news is the flakes eventually all come off and then the headphones go back to being awesome again.
@@OldAussieAds how are these for purchasing in this year? also i am pretty new to this and i dont know the purpose of the quarter inch jack, and i find the 3.5mm jack cable too short for my setup, can i use an aux cable extender? does that decrease the sound quality?
@@apratimsingh1306 There are quarter inch jacks in some sound equipment, especially in older gear. My 90s era digital piano for example. From memory both cables included in the box (long and short) are 3.5mm. The long one doesn't have the mic and remote controls.
Got them for a good price and was pleasantly surprised. The stage is pretty big for closed back headphones, and I absolutely love the dry, analytic sound signature. On top of that, they're incredibly comfortable. I don't get the bad reviews at all, besides the problem with the ear pad coating. Getting a new pair every 18 months isn't expensive, it's just a bit wasteful. Sennheiser should offer replacements.
Hi, I just wanted to thank you so much for your reviews, I'm slowly starting to be a beginner audiophile and I enjoy a lot your advices, plus, English not beeing my native language you are really easy to understand, and of I love your shirts... Brings me back to the magnum tv show 😅 Bye and take care
Just wondering but do you think you'll do more reviews on even cheaper headphones in the future? They probably won't sound as good as the normal products you've been looking at but could still be interesting looking for the best ones like this one here.
Awesome cans for listening Hardstyle music. If you are family, you know what I mean. Feels like next song or next song will damage your headphones. These are so good in bass. They go extremely low, especially if you play with EQ for a while, amazing pair of headphones. One month almost, still alive, I hope it will work for ages easily with hard bass music.
I received these today for £106 new. As I wanted a closed back h.phone . All my other proper h.phones being Grado open back . And on quality and first listening I am impressed.
I love my Sennheiser HD518 semi open back. Super comfortable and great sounding I use the headphones for hours on and sometimes forget that I'm even wearing them
@Mr. J Random This is old but I still feel the need to tell you to fuck off. There is nothing wrong with calling them cheaper headphones especially under the Sennheiser brand.
@@suhhhdud9682 there's really no need to tell him to fuck off, he hasn't said anything offensive, the dude literally started his comment with the word "please"
I'm looking to buy either these ones or ATH-M50X. I used to have Sennheiser HD 449, which I really liked. The 569 are about 0.5kg heavier than M50 and HD 449 that I'm used to. I imagine the weight is noticeable. Can anyone help me choose?
Why would they have a dip at 300Hz like the m50x? If that wasn't recessed, it would sound more full and smooth. I guess it's just work for the EQ. I am also interested in how the HD579 compares to the HD559 and HD598. What are the significant changes in the HD559 from the HD558?
How would you compare this against much affordable M40x which everybody saying is the much better headphone to buy than M50x? Would like to hear your opinion with both Monoprice planar headphones ( M560 & M1060 2nd edition ).
I have not heard the 569, but anyone who's saying there's a big difference between the m40's and m50's is talking out of their ass and you can dismiss their opinion. I would not recommend the m30-m50 line if you're not going to use them for monitoring or tracking. They are fantastic for what they are built for, but they do clamp - which is great if you're wearing them while recording, but not so much if you're sitting at home playing games or listening to music for hours (ymmv, not every head is the same). As an every day headphone you want something comfortable and also something that's more forgiving to badly recorded music rather than something that will point out all the flaws and Sennheiser has historically been really good about that... but again, it's very much personal preference. I'm a bit older so I appreciate "harsh" headphones because I simply don't hear as well upwards of 10k as a teen would. Some people seem to hate bass and dismiss anything that extends below 50hz as inaccurate (these people should listen to some actual studio monitors and not the grotboxes everyone seems to think are studio monitors)... but you can't argue with people's personal experience. Unfortunately the only real way to find out is to see for yourself.
I found the m50x's way too loose.. the headband is so freaking wide! I have a small head but had to get rid of them because the headband was so wide they barely stayed on my head
If they're new, the earcups should touch when they're not on your head. So unless your head collapsed into negative space they should stay on your head at the very least. The springy part should be metal, so you could just clamp them together over night to tighten them up again.
well they sit on my head if Im sitting and not moving, but I expect a headphone to be comfortable and stay on my head if I look down at my lap which they did not. I'm just saying that they weren't very "clamp" like for me so saying a flat statement that they clamp depends on the person's head. I found them to be extremely wide and so did my partner so we got rid of them because they didn't fit either of us. I have a small head though, not a huge noggin'
I got 'em, ultra comfortable and lightweight, padding is damned nice. They sound great, and totally closed-back. For the money I paid these are a total steal. I now own these, the Hifiman HE400Is, and Pioneer X7 DJs, I cannot decide which pair I love more, honestly. Although, the Hifimans are the tops for me, overall. They just sound sublime. But these Sennheisers cannot be counted out, and supposedly their opens are usually better, but these are also excellent cans. Both these and the Pioneers are super efficient, Hifimans, not really. True the bass on these isn't as defined or sharp as the Hifimans, but still I enjoy it.
@@maulcs I did and yes they're very good for classical. Very balanced sound overall and lots of detail. Soundstage is about the same as my last pair of DT 770's. The only noticeable difference between these and the 770's is they have less exciting trebles and more pronounced mids.
I really hate it when manufacturers put proprietary plugs on the cables. I like to have the cable plug into the headphone through a standard 3.5mm jack. This way, when it gets snagged, the plug will just snap right out and there will be less chance of the cable breaking. And if it breaks, I'll be able to replace it with just any other cable. I don't see any point in a proprietary plug, other than forcing you to buy replacement cables directly through the manufacturer. That's a bit of a deal breaker for me. Otherwise these headphones look very comfortable and I like what you had to say about the sound quality.
I dealed with Sennheiser for a defective cable once on another model. They sent me a new cable for free within 3 days! "Service impeccable de leur part!" I'll never hesitate to buy Sennheiser headphones! (I'm not affiliated with them!)
Would these be as good as the Sennheiser PXC 550? I wanted wireless but if I can get better sound with wires and less money I’ll do it. I just use my iphone and was looking for a good Sennheiser under 200. The 569/598 open and closed look appealing. If they sound as good as the pxc550 I’d be happy to save money and not worry about charging them or all the gadgetry breaking.
Just saw Z's review of the same headphone, and he lambasted the HD5 series. Not only that, but his worst comment was toward the 569 IIRC, that was thenone he hated the most. It's surprising that Tyll liked it despite never bothering to try the rest of the family, specially considering that this is mainly an open back series.
They are extremely comfortable, the way they sit on your head fells like they are custom made. sound isolation is very nice, i will pay 500 for a high resolution audio aluminum body, version of this. I think the drivers are from china
Hi i am new comer and follower here. Looking for sub 200 dollar headphone. I need warm sounding punchy bass headphone. What about Beyerdynamics Dt770 ?(80ohms) Haven't seen any reviews about them especially here
These headphones are honestly god awful. I bought these as my first "audiophile" headphones, side-grading from the Arctis Pros, because Steelseries products like to break themselves, but, they honestly sucked. Don't buy these for the love of god.
I wouldn't even LOOK at any Senheisser headphones after the Venerable HD 540. It completely baffles me what they have been doing these last 30-40 years, Even the HD800S is nice but tried too hard. Similar with AKG. There were some realm god realm type engineers back in the 80's which sadly haven't been seen or heard from since. Man, makes me so sad
Jo Par Whoa!!! You wouldn’t even look at any new Sennheiser’s ??? I couldn’t live without having that information, your opinion is so highly regarded by everyone and you’re THE authority on audio
@BeliveInUrself No, I have these headphones and that's exactly what they sound like if I don't push them back so my ears are as forward in the headphones as possible. It's muddy, boomy, awful sound stage, and has terrible high end. Then you get it to fit right, and suddenly it sounds great. It's night and day. I'll bet everyone who says they sound terrible don't have them on right, because honestly I've never owned another pair of headphones that were this particular about fit

Listening to this with my hd 569s (my first headphones!). Glad they have received the papal blessing. Thanks for the review and measurements.

Got this and after burning in and EQ with Wavelet app this sounds phenomenal 🙂
Gotta love this man's shirts.
I hate it

*We both have that same shirt. Much love from beautiful Bangor, Maine.*
i love the bass
Tyll, When you say distortion in the bass, do you mean like it is cracking/clipping? or just like the hd650 where its bloomy and indistinct?
A little bloomy, but is quite accurate.
Thanks for this review. I hope you are going to test the other models of the HD 5xx lineup, too.
Too bad he never did. I will die not knowing what he thought of the HD 598 and its successor, the 599.
i guess it is pretty randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to stream newly released movies online ?

Amazon here discounted em down to $105, so I bought a pair. They arrive tomorrow, to go with my record player and headphone amp.

Best bang for your buck. It's a cheap entry point and are great until you can get 6xx or X2.
great review
Great reviews...
When are we gona some reviews on samson products like the flagship Z55 headphones.
Never, because Samson doesn't exist.
Hello . Are these headphones a good product to play rock and roll music with a smartphone or tablet? Thanks a lot .
These cheaper headphones are great for on the go where I don't have to worry about damage or being stollen - will give these a spin...

I am also interested in how the HD579 compares to the HD559 and HD598.
What are the significant changes in the HD559 from the HD558?
What do you suggest as a gaming first then music (metal) second headphone/headset ?
I appreciate this review. Thanks.
The 598cs are the same? They have different names and prices?
I wonder how do they compare against the HD 598 CS and 598 SR?
Bansaku I was thinking about the 598 cs too
Also, how about the HD599? - There are TOO MANY of these HD5xx headphones. Very tough to distinguish.
They are tough to distinguish because they are all the same. Buy the cheapest and modify it to your tastes.
Ya, in a way my OP was rhetorical as I knew the answer, but wanted some confirmation.
This.
How is this compare to the HD449?
Best Deal at the moment has to be the HIFIMANN 400I at $250 and massdrop HD6xx but I prefer the hifimann sound
Does this headphone sounds good for gaming?
should i get this or beyerdynamic custom one pro plus ?
What would be better for the price? How about Sony h.ear on MDR-100AAP wired?
How would you compare this against much affordable M40x which everybody saying is the much better headphone to buy than M50x?

Rumor has it the Amazon 598 cs has the same 38 mm driver , and the same specs for a bit cheaper. The cosmetics are different.
Hello tyll thanks for the review for budget wallets! Get the sennheiser hd 598cs for review.
You should try the HD598 i like it just as much as my HD660s and HD650. They all have their character but are very alike... like brothers.
Yes. I have the hd 660s and the 598 and they are both good. Like your witcher emblem 😎
Hi, could you take a look at hd 598 cs. People say they are same as this one with different headband and stuff?
Is it possible to connect it to a computer? And if so how do i do so?
plug it in
these are 32 ohms and are intended for portable listening and for use with computer. To plug it in, find your headphone jack. Then plug and play
Heard them, they are really the best out fs 5xx series in case of comfort. If only it could be more sturdy headband...

Just got it with 2 years insurance on ebay at $124.99 and it's really worth about twice what I paid for haha not to mention insured.
